As some of you already know, Mike Foote broke his femur a few weeks ago while attempting a low hook turn. He’s on the mend and doing well. The reason for this post is to help his family until he can get back to work. I’ve opened and seeded an account called Feed The Feet to address his, Jen and Ryenn’s immediate needs; i.e. diapers, food and rent. Donations in check or money order form can be sent to: First Citizens State Bank C/O Feed The Feet P.O. Box 866 East Troy WI 53120 Mike was a little reluctant to accept charity at first; He’s a Marine, ’nuff said. After going over the budget with Jen he told me, “There’s no way in Hell” they can make it until he gets back to work. I’m not asking to pay his medical bills or anything like that. They just need a few months of true charity: family, friends and church in that order. We are Skydivers; they are part of this family. Don’t contribute because of the warm fuzzy feeling it gives you. Contribute because it’s the right thing to do. Any residual funds will be sent to Jump For The Cause or Make A Wish Foundation. To the moderators, any way you can keep this post on the first page? I’ve noticed that things get buried in the background and forgotten with new daily posts. “The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

I was just exercising my arcane sense of humor there Chris. After looking at your webpage a little bit, I was thinking you might enjoy a little humor as this thread could use it. Like I said before I've seen this beer thing abused to obscene extremes and actually drive away some potential skydivers.

Nice bait and switch there Chris. Skillfully planned and executed. For some reason you remind me of someone...WAIT A MINUTE.

A man took his wife to the rodeo and one of the first exhibits they stopped at was the breeding bulls. They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said, "He mated 50 times last year." They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 120 times last year. "The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him." They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's ribs, said, "That's once a day. You could REALLY learn something from this one." The husband looked at her and said, "Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow." “The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

A reporter is leaving the Democratic convention when he sees a small boy selling some puppies from a cardboard box. In jest he asks the boy if they are Democratic puppies and the boy replies "Sure mister". The next week after leaving the Republican convention he spots the same boy selling the remainder of the puppies. He asks the boy if they are Republican puppies. The boy again replies "Sure mister". The reporter says, "Last week you told me they were Democratic puppies, what gives?" "This week they have their eyes open."

Val, if you ever get to Philly, stop at any street corner vendor and get a plain soft pretzel with yellow mustard. This is the old standard which all others are judged from. Part Semolina flour dough, boiled crust before baking and topped with coarse salt. Maybe we can get Phil to whip up a batch this summer? “The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.
